A story broke this week about how people are hacking the Uber referral program to get thousands of dollars in free credits — some apparently by using Burner to create multiple accounts.

Funnily enough, just a few weeks ago a Burner team member proposed writing a post about exactly this “hack”, detailing step by step how to get Uber credits by using Burner, as a way of promoting the fact that we now support short codes, and to generate awareness generally.
